Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a maintenance cover device for a motorcycle such as a scooter type.

In scooter-type motorcycles, the upper half of the engine's cylinder block, cylinder head, etc. is covered with a rear cover, making it difficult to perform plug cleaning, plug replacement, and other engine maintenance. Therefore, conventionally, an opening is provided on the side of the engine part of the rear cover, and this is covered with a removable hole cover.The cover is removed and the opening is opened for maintenance.The cover also has a key lock to prevent tampering. Equipment is installed.
